Branding
" I believe that when designing extraordinary experiences where people can interact and feel in different ways, a powerful tool to educate and share knowledge is developed".
Insecto Robotario had this purpose, to bring people closer to the environment and technology while having an extraordinary experience.
Playing with unnatural proportions, the great microcosm became giant and the humans became the tiny visitors.
About Insecto Robotario
By making use of diverse technologies, Insecto Robotario created a place where insects were the main characters and humans were just visitors. In this ecosystem, mostly unknown by humans, the importance of insects is to keep the balance of the environment that was revealed by giant insect-robots. They came to life and performed their natural activities as if they were in a normal life-cycle.
With diverse elements the show involved the audience through sounds, stories, scenography, robots and other special effects, to make the experience as real as possible.
